Republicans Launch Latest Attack On Prevailing Wage and Skilled Workers
[8/4/2014] - In an opinion column in the conservative magazine National Review, Senator Lamar Alexander, R-Tennessee, actually wrote: "If employers know they must pay a predetermined wage, there is no incentive for them to hire inexperienced workers over experienced, unionized workers." He further emphasized that Davis-Bacon "robs unskilled workers of a fair shot at getting hired," and in a statement, called the decent wages earned by skilled union workers a "handout." Co-author Mike Lee, R-Utah, was quoted in another article saying Davis-Bacon "removes the incentive for federal contractors to hire unskilled, nonunionized workers." link
